Can knee arthritis be treated with a surgery?
There are a myriad of non-surgical and surgical options to treat arthritis. While non-operative choices are usually attempted first, the ultimate treatment is a joint replacement. For focal lesions, cartilage restoration can be performed, or realignment osteotmiies have benefited others. Simple arthroscopic cleanups can also be performed but usually only after non-operative options failed and for those not ready for replacement READ MORE
Can I get my torn cartilage repaired?
It really depends on the pattern and complexity of the tear. Peripheral tears in the vascular region of the meniscus have a good chance of repair success. Complex, macerated, degenerative tears are less repairable. READ MORE
Will a CT scan of my spine show how to treat my injury?
There are several causes of back pain. When it does not get better with rest and simple treatments advanced testing can be helpful in making the diagnosis. Each test focuses on different things so each may be better in certain circumstances. A CT scan is particularly good at looking at bones while MRI scans are more commonly used to target soft tissues. They can complement each other in some patients. READ MORE
Why does a broken hand need surgery?
Depends on exact bone that is broken and the fracture pattern and displacement or angulation. Nondisplaced fractures are generally treated with splints alone. Crooked and rotated fractures may need surgery to optimize ultimate hand and finger function READ MORE
I am suffering from severe numbness in my foot after a hip replacement surgery. Is it normal?
Severe numbness is not normal and should be checked by your doctor. It may simply be a nerve stretch at the time of surgery which can resolve with time, but should be checked for something more. READ MORE
My mother is going in for a Hip replacement surgery. What should I ask the doctor?
How many has he done before? Does he perform revision surgery (probably means he can do the easy ones)? What is his complication rate compared to other doctors? READ MORE
